Fluorite

Fluorite is the mineral form of calcium fluoride, CaF2. It belongs to the halide minerals. It crystallizes in isometric cubic habit. Although octahedral and more complex isometric forms are not uncommon.

The purest grades of fluorite are a source of fluoride. The hydrofluoric acid manufacture is the intermediate source of most fluorine. It contains fine chemicals. Optically clear transparent fluorite lenses have low dispersion.

So lenses made from it exhibit less chromatic aberration. It makes them valuable in microscopes and telescopes. Fluorite optics are also usable in the far ultraviolet and mid infrared ranges. Where conventional glasses are too absorbent for use.

Color change phenomena

The phenomenon is due to properties of the gem’s crystal lattice. A gemstone appears red because it absorbs all frequencies of light except for red. When a gem has a low absorption in some part of the spectrum. This is referred to as its transmission window.

Some rare gems have multiple approximately equal sized transmission windows. And they will exhibit a color change when the light changes. So a gemstone that absorbs all frequencies except for green and also red will appear green when the light is richer in green wavelengths. And red when the light is red in red wavelengths.

Because color change gems are so rare, prices tend to be higher than for non color change specimens of the same variety. But if you are a collector or just want to own a unique and beautiful rarity of nature.
